That windshield looks so much better! It now picks up the reflections like a 1:1. It should be no problem to work backwards through the build, disassemble everything and re-take the photos. Better start right away. And hey.. if your giving out free jeeps......

LMAO, I'll get right on it. No actually I won't, having to much fun driving this rig.

Yeah I haven't decided which shocks I wanted to get yet until Axial announced their JK kit and I saw the ICON shocks it came with so as soon as they are available this rig will get a set. I'm running the stock oil which worked good till the first hard run and all 4 shocks started leaking. I'll take a pic with the battery on tomorrow for you.

Haha. That kit is sick right out of the box, if it only came with the currie axles....

Here's a cell phone pic from tonight's run with the lights.

thanks. mine started leaking today too..so I opened and refilled with a 350 oil ( should be the same as a 30wt) but I find them a bit hard now. Anyway...looking for the Icon too

Keep in mind that I'm also running a Hitec 7955TG digital servo which drains the battery more then an analog servo like the Hitec 645. If you want the most run time possible and are axle mounting your servo then just go with a 645 analog servo and you'll easily get 1.5 hour run times.

Yeah no kidding. The place I went crawling last night is on a steep hill with rich assholes in multi-million dollar homes right above the crawl spot. We've been kicked out of there a couple times over the years.

bmangdog · 01-18-2013, 10:28 AM

Great job on this thing! I love how clean it is and the attention to detail on the axles! Also the machined welds on the light bar bracket! By far one of my favorite scalers. Ever.

1beatjeep · 01-20-2013, 12:16 PM

I had the opportunity to drive this sick rig. It performed awesome. The Tekin esc/motor worked fricken flawless. On the 3 cell lipo it had enough ballsto get out of its own way. But on the rocks it had such smooth control. The look of this rig is sick.

Thanks. Yeah VP did an outstanding job on the Currie axles. I couldn't believe they even machines the tiny welds on the light bar brackets, so cool.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this but it was good seeing you again, been a long time. Thanks for not driving my rig like a retard like dpdsmurf.

Hey sorry I forgot to upload the pics with the battery in. Let me know if you need any other info on the battery mount.

Alox · 01-23-2013, 11:49 AM

thanks a lot. i will try to do the same.

sally1800 · 01-25-2013, 09:14 AM

Would you say these led on top are a lot brighter than say the standard Axial light kit.

See how they are 11 volt I would think so.

sally1800 · 01-25-2013, 09:15 AM

p.s I love that True RC lipo you have on there. Dan is really cool guy he live local.

Brandon · 01-25-2013, 10:20 AM

The abundant use of zipties on this build is impressive. Nice work Badger

I'm guessing they are because it runs at 11v like you said but I honestly can't say because it's been a little while since I've run my Honcho at night. I'll have to take both of them out one night and see what the difference in brightness is.

Thank you, no professional level SCX10 scaler is complete without zipties.

Went crawling late yesterday with Norcal 2500HD over in Fremont at Niles Canyon. Never been to this spot before but it turned out to be a nice crawl spot. I have my Tekin RS programming dialed now for the ROC 412, the setup is awesome in my JK. The last picture says it all.

Thanks Brian for shooting the action shots.

Hi-Res version

NorCal 2500HD · 01-26-2013, 10:15 PM

That spots pretty sick, pics came out pretty fresh too

NewboySF · 01-26-2013, 11:41 PM

Nice pics. Looks like a great place to run.
